the rolling stones and --" "no, no, it's the rolling beatles." and he would insist. i said, "dad, there's no rolling beatles. it's the rolling stones or the beatles." "no, no, it's the rolling beatles. i just saw it in 'time.'" and then he'd lie.

david spade, his gift was to take her out on a date. >> jay: wow. [ laughter ] was that tough for david? i mean, the kid being taller and all? [ laughter ] you know. a lot of guys -- [ applause ] you get that height thing going, a lot of guys get insecure when the woman is taller. >> he kept going, "lose the heels."

[ light laughter ] the surprise has got to be the tough part. >> i tricked myself. i parked the car down the street, tried to fool myself. >> jay: oh. [ laughter ] >> and then i bought myself one of those pinatas. and i had the baseball bat. and i ended up at my neighbor's house just beating their grandmother. but that was fine. that was back in the day. >> jay: now, is it hard for

sadie to take you seriously as a dad? so my kid is incredibly sweet and nice. so she kind of dominates me. and like, i want her to like me so much so i'm always trying to be cool. i just want her to think i'm cool all the time. and my wife is very good at, like, giving discipline. >> jay: right. >> i'm like, all right, they're mad at her right now, so i'm still the cool guy. i thought that was going to go great until 3:00 a.m. when the kids wake up, they demand to see the cool guy. [ light laughter ] they never -- i'm just like, "really, you don't want any discipline?" [ laughter ] "you don't want to do flash cards?" >> jay: now, do you believe in spanking? >> i've been spanking since i'm 11. >> jay: really? >> yeah. [ cheers and applause ] i'll hear other parents talking, like, they'll come up, "spanking?" i'm like, "hell yeah."

you even see the oil in the water. you see the wildlife and everything. but being there, it's claustrophobic. i remember being out on the water, in a lot of oil, and i have this sort of panicky feeling, like i need to get some fresh air, like the fumes are too strong here. and realizing that i am in fresh air and there's nowhere to go, i didn't have a panic attack, but i felt very bad. this sort of a flashing sign in my mind saying, "this is broken, this is broken." it's just -- it's not okay, what's going on down there. >> jay: now, do you think these cleanup workers are going to have health problems as well? >> you know, i think the cleanup workers should be outfitted and treated and trained as if they are dealing with a hazardous material spill. because they really are. i'm worried both about them. frankly, i'm worried about the people who just live in the communities where a lot of the oil has come onshore. with it, but who are exposed to that much contamination. >> jay: i mean, even if you had a home, if you had a a million-dollar home on the ocean, you now have a a $200,000 home on the ocean,

maybe. don't you? >> and if you have a a million-dollar home on the ocean, you're probably connected to the fishing or tourism industry. >> and those industries, who knows? >> jay: so, is this obama's katrina? i mean, they're calling it that, but do you see it that i think katrina was katrina, and this is a whole new disaster. this was a man-made catastrophe. i mean, whether or not we result of that man-made mistake, i think will tell what the political impact of it is. but right now, we're still in the midst of an unfolding disaster. >> jay: somebody need to go to jail here? >> yes, probably. it won't fix it. but i think that when you look at the people at bp who are responsible for the gulf coast, responsible for safety. you look at the oil industry, generally, that hasn't comes up with any new cleanup technology since before i was born. they're doing all the same stuff they did with the big oil spill in the '70s and in the '60s. >> jay: right, we have new drilling techniques. but we have no way to -- see, this, it's the same thing with wall street. nobody goes to jail.

i mean, i know it doesn't fix anything, but it makes people feel better. >> yeah. >> jay: you know, i mean, if you're driving 70 in a a 40-mile-an-hour zone, you hit a kid on a bike, you didn't mean to hit tho cf1 o >> jay: do you think that will happen? >> i don't know. i mean, what i want to happen most of all is that i want accountability. i o they were. i want the families of those 11 people who were killed to get justice. and i want the industry to be forced to come up with be- something goes wrong, inevitably, at that drill site, you don't know how to clean it up. it just shouldn't be approved that way. >> jay: exactly. exactly, exactly. [ cheers and applause ] and you know, we have -- we have hundreds of thousands of troops protecting oil over there. why can't we get some of them here? >> yeah. >> jay: you know, to clean this mess up? i mean, this is as bad as any terrorist attack could ever be. >> yeah. and it's still going. and you know, the technology that we have to keep the oil offshore and to get the oil out of the water, the technology is so lame. i mean, it's really -- it's

really lackadaisical, not impressive technology. it's really low tech, no tech. but even that stuff, booms and the absorbent pads that they put in the oil and take the oil out that way, the skimmers and that stuff, even that lame technology that we have, we're not doing it right. we're not booming right. and it needs more manpower, more training. we could be doing a better job on that. >> jay: okay, the president goes down there again. i think he's going down. this will be his fourth time. >> yeah, monday he's going down. >> jay: okay, is it politics? is it the tv cameras? does it make a difference? what does it do? >> you know, i do -- i think it makes a difference, at least just extrapolating from my own experience. because, like i said, i thought i understood what was going on until i went there. and there's something about the sensory experience of being in the middle of that and realizing this isn't some disaster in the abstract. this is happening where a lot of americans live. people are living amid this disaster. and being there viscerally and getting it, i came back a lot more angry and a lot more motivated to do something about it just because i saw it.

>> jay: explain this to me. president obama says he has not talked to ceo tony hayward. it seems to me that's the first guy. i mean, like you say, you have an accident, you call the other owner. i mean, why? why have those two not talked? even just to chew him out or to -- he said, "oh, if he worked for me, i'd fire him." why not call him up and give him a piece of your -- i mean, i don't get it. why? >> well, i sort of feel -- there's been a lot of this discussion about whether or not obama has sort of showed the right emotion, whether or not he showed the right anger or right level of anger on this. i sort of feel like -- i don't really care if he is angry or grand isle. i just want somebody to get it done. and i don't really care about -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jay: yeah, exactly, exactly. let's talk about the -- it was a big night for women last night. >> yeah, primaries. >> jay: yeah. let's talk about that a little bit. >> yeah, you know, it's -- california had a lot of the most interesting races, of course. >> jay: yeah. >> meg whitman spent $81 million just in the primary. >> jay: spent $81 million to get a job that pays $160,000 a

year. [ laughter ] what's the thinking here? >> the fact that she spent $81 million just for the primary. jerry brown -- she's going to be running against jerry brown for governor. he hasn't really spent anything yet. >> jay: $400,000. >> yeah. >> jay: that's what he spent. >> so, they're setting that up. i love politics. i love primaries like this. i think there's going to be some good races. i do feel like people are wrong when they say that there's this huge anti-incumbent sentiment. i feel like that's sort of the common wisdom about what's going on right now in politics. i think that's wrong. i think most incumbents are getting reelected. >> jay: well, didn't they pass the thing in california to do away with -- to have open primaries now? >> yeah. >> jay: yeah. see, to me, because now, if you want to run as a republican, you have to say, "i hate immigrants, i want to do this." even if you don't believe it, you have to say it. and then, when you win, you watch, meg whitman will now suddenly move to the center. okay, and i hate that people have to lie just to get the nomination. >> you have to run a totally

different race to win the primary than you do to win the general. >> jay: right, right, exactly, exactly. do you think that they'll do think it'll also make parties less important. and sometimes parties are useful in terms of defining two totally different approaches to something like that. i think it's good and healthy for the country, for the debate, that we've got two really different ideas about how that should be approached. and i sort of like partisan fighting a little bit, to the extent that it sharpens our policy. >> jay: like, when i first got this job, ross perot was the hot guy. we'd have him on. "eh, i got to tell you, jay --" he's like everybody's first boss. >> "giant sucking sound." was ross perot bigger than the tea party is now? or is the tea party bigger than that? >> i feel like ross perot is more like ron paul. like, there's the ron paul movement. rand paul, his son, obviously, the inheritor of that legacy. ross perot was fascinating. but again, self-financed guy. >> jay: yeah. >> right, and at a certain point, we need to decide whether or not the richest guy just gets the office.

whether or not people who spend the most money get the election. >> jay: hey, as long as you're not spending my money, fine with me. [ laughter ] but anyway, rachel, it's always fun to have you. these minutes fly by. please come see us again. >> thank you so much. >> jay: rachel maddow.
